..Based on the similarity of results in trials with very slow and no hand movement, it was concluded that position-sense percepts are more accurately distinguished by the speed of movement rather than whether movement is occurring or not...

..Non-scaling changes in these parameters suggest that complex movements, such as the sit-up, may require discrete changes in motor pattern in order to deal with large loads, which challenge the available leverage...

Effect of slow, small movement on the vibration-evoked kinesthetic illusion

..We discuss whether the exaggerated perception of slow, small movement during vibration is better explained by contributions of non muscle spindle Ia afferents or by changes in the mechanical transmission of vibration to the receptor...

Motor coordination can be fully understood only by studying complex movements

..This complex pattern changed qualitatively from one phase to the next, suggesting that the roles of different muscles and, as a consequence, the overall form of coordination, change during the sit-up...

Contributions of skin and muscle afferent input to movement sense in the human hand

..The spread of anesthesia occurred in a semisystematic way, spreading proximally and distally from the site of injection (mid-dorsum of the hand), and, at a slower rate, from the dorsum of the hand to the palm...
